The 2015 Family Sponsorship Challenge

July 25th would have been Cooper’s 8th birthday. In his honor, over the past week and continuing until Saturday, July 25th, we will be holding our annual Family Sponsorship Challenge! A critical source of funding for the Foundation, Family Sponsorships directly aid Super Cooper families by providing funding for housing and support services while their children receive cancer treatment.

In 2014, we raised $20,000 and this year we hope to raise even more to benefit the growing number of Super Cooper families currently being supported in our six active homes in Durham and Chapel Hill. So, what exactly does a Family Sponsorship provide? Check out this breakdown of the non-medical costs of pediatric cancer that these funds go towards:

With three levels of Family Sponsorship, there’s an option for everyone to join the Super Cooper team. Whether you’re a Silver, Gold, or Platinum Family Sponsor, your generous donation makes a major impact in the lives of a Super Cooper family. Here’s how:

Silver Family Sponsorship: $250
Provides a family with a 5-day parking voucher and a Visa gift card to cover 1 week of groceries and expenses during their child’s treatment.

Gold Family Sponsorship: $500
Provides a family with a 10-day parking voucher and a Visa gift card to cover 2 weeks of groceries and expenses during their child’s treatment.

Platinum Family Sponsorship: $750+
Provides a family with a 20-day parking voucher and a Visa gift card to cover 1 month of groceries and expenses during their child’s treatment.

Not only does your generous donation support a family in their fight against pediatric cancer, it also gains your family entry into the 6th Annual Super Cooper’s Rockin’ Run and commemorative t-shirts. Even if you can’t become a Family Sponsor we hope you’ll join us on October 3, 2015 at 1 PM on the Southern Village Green for the annual 5K and Family Fun Festival as we raise funds and have fun, all for a great cause!

What’s Behind the Name?

The foundation’s name, Super Cooper’s Little Red Wagon, comes from the Hermans’ experience during Cooper’s repeated hospitalizations. When Coop was just 2 years old, the wagon became his chariot, his legs, and his reliable mode of transportation while he took countless trips up and down the halls of each hospital. No matter which cancer hospital they were visiting, the little red wagon was a common thread and a symbol of hope and perseverance.
